I need some network command that works similar to the famous "ping" instruction, except that it causes all computers on my LAN to send me back echo replies. I do not want to carry out trial and error, trying to ping all possible IPs on my LAN.

I agree with John, Ping is a ICMP based command and will only work with it being unblocked within your network. Airsnare as suggest will work only on wireless networks. If a network scanner doesn't work because its being blocked. You can try programs like Wireshark and Etherpeek that can monitor all the traffic on your network segment in most cases regardless of the protocol . Etherpeek I believe has a more organized way of displaying a list of hosts it heard traffic from, but both will give you an idea.

What you want to do has nothing to do with servers. You can you a free IP or Network scanner, I listed links below.
If you do a scan and a computer doesn't show up, then the firewall is blocking ICMP packets.

There is a program I use to find all the clients on a network. It is called AirSnare and can be downloaded from http://home.comcast.net/~jay.deboer/airsnare/
This program monitors the network traffic and will show a listing of all clients on the network, regardless of status. I use this as a troubleshooting tool when I can't get a client to operate properly. The program will provide you a list of the clients, their MAC address and the IP if they have resolved one.
Good luck!

If the other computers connected to your router U can use command "netsend /all" but this will echo reply all the IPS if they are visible. The best way to do this is to connecto to the router software given by the manufacturer. Connect to the router IP and it will give U a home page.
also "IPCONFIG
